Fusion Materials Irradiation Test (FMIT) status update

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6101632

The Fusion Materials Irradiation Test (FMIT) Facility was proposed as the only facility that could provide the intense neutron environment required for development of long lifetime fusion reactor materials. In the FMIT, neutrons would be produced by the interaction of 35 MeV deuterons with a flowing liquid lithium target. Materials irradiations would be performed in a specially designed test cell containing the target and test equipment. Design of the plant and the major subsystems is advanced to the point where construction could begin immediately. Completion of FMIT would then take about four years, and initial materials test data would be available
